The heart of a caregiver.

⸺ Patient experiencE

  • “Mike’s probably not the first person you’ll seek out for pain issues, but he’ll likely be the last. Hmm, that sounds pretty final! What I mean is that he’ll fix your pain issues, with great follow-up care to help make sure they don’t return. He’s not your average chiropractor. Mike truly cares!”

    -Kirby

  • “I have more energy and sleep better. My overall physical functioning is much more resilient to physical work. I appreciate his consistent, high-quality approach and attention to detail. It’s clear he really cares about your health and knows his craft. I function best seeing Dr. Mike on a regular basis.”

    -Andrea

  • “I have never had a provider listen to me so well. I came in with a recurring stress fracture. I wanted to understand what was causing the stress fracture to return and how I could prevent it from happening again. He treated me from a nutritional, functional medicine, and chiropractic perspective. I am very happy with the progress I have made.”

    -Izzy

  • “Dr. Winkels helped both my husband and son. After years of searching for answers, he identified issues affecting my husband and created a plan to support his healing. After working with Dr. Winkels, my son also stopped waking from naps inconsolable and became much more comfortable with sensory experiences.”

    -Laurel

  • "What I appreciate most about Dr. Mike is that he doesn't just chase symptoms—he looks at the whole picture. When I came to him with hip pain that limited my ability to lift and stay active, he developed a thoughtful plan that actually worked. Over time my pain decreased, my movement improved, and I returned to the level of weightlifting I enjoy. "

    -Kayla

  • "Dr. Mike is absolutely amazing! For 25 years, I suffered from severe migraines and went to countless healthcare providers who just threw different medications at the problem. If one pill didn't work, they just had me try another, never actually fixing anything. Dr. Mike’s care is truly top-notch. Instead of masking the symptoms, he actually got to the root of the problem and addressed it."
